Electronic parts mounting apparatus and electronic parts mounting method
First Claim
1. An electronic parts mounting apparatus which takes out electronic parts from a parts supply portion, then transfers and mounts the parts on a board, the electronic parts mounting apparatus comprising:
- a board positioning portion for positioning the board transferred in a first direction;
parts feeders arranged with a predetermined pitch-along the first direction at the parts supply portion;
a plurality of mounting heads in each of which a plurality of suction nozzles, each revolving around a horizontal rotation shaft set so as to be aligned with the first direction and being capable of sucking and holding the electronic part, are disposed in a radial manner around the rotation shaft; and
head moving means for integrally moving a plurality of the mounting heads between the parts supply portion and the board positioning portion.

Abstract
In an electronic parts mounting apparatus provided with rotary type multi-nozzle type mounting heads 10A, 10B in each of which a plurality of suction nozzles 20 are disposed in a radial manner on a rotor mechanism 18 which rotates around a rotation shaft 18a, a parts mount mechanism 8 is configured in a manner that the axial direction of the rotation shaft 18a is made coincide with the arrangement direction of tape feeders 5 in a parts supply portion 4 and a shaft-to-shaft distance D of the suction nozzles 20 is set to be plural times as large as the pitch p of the feeder arrangement. Thus, in a pick-up process, a plurality of electronic parts can be simultaneously picked up from the tape feeders 5. In a parts mounting process, while one of the mounting heads performs the part mounting operation, the other mounting head can complete a nozzle change-over operation in a manner that the suction nozzle holding an electronic part to be mounted next is moved to a operation position.

5. An electronic parts mounting method for transferring and mounting electronic parts on a board by using an electronic parts mounting apparatus which comprising:
- a board positioning portion for positioning the board transferred in a first direction;
parts feeders arranged with a predetermined pitch along the first direction at the parts supply portion;
a plurality of mounting heads in each of which a plurality of suction nozzles, each revolving around a horizontal rotation shaft set so as to be aligned with the first direction and being capable of sucking and holding the electronic part, are disposed in a radial manner around the rotation shaft; and
head moving means for integrally moving a plurality of the mounting heads between the parts supply portion and the board positioning portion, the electronic parts mounting method comprising;
a pick-up step for moving a plurality of the mounting heads to the parts supply portion and taking out electronic parts from the parts feeders by using the suction nozzles of the mounting heads;
a head moving step for moving a plurality of the mounting heads holding the electronic parts to the board positioning portion; and
a parts mounting step for sequentially mounting the electronic parts held by the respective suction nozzles on mounting points of the board by a plurality of the mounting heads, respectively, wherein in the parts mounting step, while the suction nozzle in one of the mounting heads is moved up and down with respect to the board to mount an electronic part held by the suction nozzle on the board, the suction nozzle holding an electronic part to be mounted next in another of the mounting heads is revolved around the rotation shaft. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7)
